SYMPTOMS
When you start the Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0 Help file from the SMS
shared application program group on a Windows NT client, you receive the
following error message:
Executing winhelp.exe rather than winhlp32.exe because this help file
uses a 16 bit DLL (178)
The message occurs when Winhlp32 is asked to open any 16-bit Help file.
CAUSE
Program Group Control (PGC) is designed to use file associations. A command
line such as "Wdreadme.hlp" causes PGC to run the program associated with
the .hlp extension and to look for the target file in the package
directory. Under Windows NT, .hlp files are associated with Winhlp32.exe.
Winhlp32 recognizes 16-bit Help files and warns the user that it is going
to run Winhelp.exe.
